| Description of the problem | The front end developed a bad shaking. If you are ridding at 60 to 65 mph and hit a very slight bump the front end develops a shake that causes you to loose control and have to come to an abrupt stop even is you are on a major highway. Jeep called it a death wobble but they said its not a recall ! Are they crazy ? My wife almost got killed. She had to come to a sudden stop on rout 18 in new jersey while driving at 65 mph and a truck was barreling down on her. Thank god the truck was able to stop in time. It happened to the same car 4 times since i own it. It seems to happen every 50,000 miles. |
